Thanks Craig - I did not know.  Please keep us all informed.  I don't think there is anyone who knows him that doesn't love him and his crazy self.  I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

For those of you that know Ken, "Half A Dude" Roddy, and have not heard, I wanted to let everyone one know that over a month ago , Ken had a stroke.  Through many, many prayers, thoughts and great medical attention, he is on the road to recovery and will be undergoing rehabilitation in Houston very shortly.  As more updates are available, I will post updates.

Wow, Finally got a chance to log on to see classmates I have not seen in 30 years.
I think this is a great website,  It really is a great way to stay connected.
Although I must confess I am still emotional for the beautiful tribute to the classmates that has passed on.  Simply beautiful!  I do wish I would have made it to the reunion this year,  but I flew back to Seattle to finalize my only son's affairs and help my oldest daughter move back to Texas to be near me and the rest of our family.  Logging on to this website has brought back so many good memories and I would like to commend you all who worked hard  to put his together.  The pictures were awesome!  Looks like you guys did party like it was 1979.

Hello fellow classmates. I just wanted to invite those interested, to come out to Delta Downs this week. This will be our final week of quarterhorse racing until the thoroughbreds run starting  at the end of October. For those that have never been, the races are free to watch and many people bring their children. Most people bring lawn chairs and sit right at the finish line but if it's too hot you may sit inside in the A/C. A few years ago Delta got a facelift and they added a casino. They also, have good food. ..... This week we race Thursday thru Sunday ( July  9 thru July 12). There are usually at least ten races a night starting @ 6:00 p.m. and we are usually done by 11:00 p.m.....  Just wanted to let you guys know that the races are free. In todays economy,,, free, is good.  Fellow classmate, Rickey Blagburn, is the television director. I hope some of you can make it this week end.   Hope you have a wonderful summer.       Russ

Well, one week since our reunion and I still am enjoying the memories.

I echo all the kudos to those that made this happen.  I will happily voluteer to help in anyway for the "next gathering".  Seems only right since I reaped all the benifits this go round.

And still living in Orange, i would feel like a freeloader after all the effort our out- of state friends made.

Loved seeing everyone!!!
Please feel free to drop me a line
I will attempt to post some pictures on my next 7 days off.

It was good to see everyone.  There are so many others it would have been great to see.  Rusty, I agree - we do care about many "kids" we once knew and see in our minds the memories of them in a class, on the playground, or "running the roads".  Thanks for the classmates who helped bring us together.  May God's grace be with everyone until this class comes together again.  In 5 years, it would be AWESOME to see the entire class together in one place, at one time.....

I was heart broken to have missed our 30th reunion. I hope I will have another chance in the future to see all of you. I don't take things for granted like I did when I was younger.... We lost some great friends in the last ten years. I knew Jackie Wilson since about the fifth grade. Johnny Kellis was in my Sunday school class when we were kids. Donald "Tuffy" Bishop gave me a job in his restaurant when I got laid off one time. I saw Chad Harmon quite a few times after graduation and he always had time to extend a warm greeting. Mike Conley and I used to run the roads together. He was a great drummer but he was a greater human being. He never came to a reunion. I think he may have thought that no one cared. He was wrong... I miss them all.  It's sad how time has stolen our youth and taken a little spring out of our step. Today we remain young at heart and have learned to respect one another. Good luck to you all.    Russ

It was a great reunion, hated to see it end!!  Thanks to everyone who made it possible , and for all they did to make it a special memory.  It was so fun to see everyone again.  Let's make sure we do this at least every five years.  Love the idea to keep the website going, great way to stay in touch .  Chris has some great pictures on facebook, everyone needs to check them out if they haven't already.

NOTE :  I am on the Decorating Committee, and we would welcome some quick help on Saturday morning at the VFW...  probably just an hours worth between the hours of 10am and 12noon. If your "free" and up for adventure...pop in and get your decorating freak on...

1979 to 2009 -- 30 Years!  WOW! 

I attended the high school graduation of the daughter of one of my college friends last weekend.  It made me feel young and old at the same time!  One of the things that was running through my head was the question "What will the world be like for Audrey in 30 years?"

See you all on the 12th and 13th!
